Memebox Special #37 Wake Up Makeup

Hello my lovely readers!

I don't usually get makeup boxes but I am not so sure as to why I decided to get this box but I did. haha! It is Memebox Special #37 Wake Up Makeup box. This box is pretty self explanatory as there are NO skincare products in this box. This box was $23USD plus the $6.99 snail mail shipping. Onto the unboxing we go!


Item #1
Downy Cheek by Bbia
The Swatch
This item contained 1 blush
Price: $12
Chosen randomly from 01 Downy Pink or 02 Downy Peach
Product Description: "This ultra-blendable cream blush gives your cheek a natural flush of color! The creamy formula blends into the skin with no visible texture for the look of natural beauty and goes on completely weightless. It can be worn over or under powder to sculpt and highlight your cheeks!"
This is a cream blush that I had received in the color 01 Downy Pink. The color is very barbie pink to me. I am not so sure that I would use this color as it is very pink.

Item #2
Babyface Young Girl Gel Eye Liner by It's Skin









This is a dual colored gel eyeliner
Price: $13

Product Description: "This dual colored gel eyeliner comes in two color options- black and brown, and purple and black- and when the two shades are applied together, they create a younger-looking, lovelier effect on your eyes. Plus, the cream-type texture allows it to glide onto the skin smoothly in one easily application."

Okay, I just HAVE to comment on the packaging...yet again! I LOVE IT! It is so cute! I also think it is pretty innovative how its basically two gel liners in one. Of course, you don't have as much of one color but it is nice that it offers two colors. I find that this would be good for traveling. I have not tried to swatch this just yet so I cannot comment on the quality of this liner but I have high hopes for this liner.

Item #3
The Original Soothing Blemish Balm SPF 30 PA++ by Royal Nature

This tube contains 40ml of product
Price: $43

Product Description: "Royal Nature's The Original Soothing Blemish Balm is greatly acknowledged for its gentle, soothing formula enriched with calendula extracts, chamomile extracts, cypress essential oil, portulaca extracts, and Royal Nature's special 'Angel's Tear' complex. Unlike other chemical-infused BB creams, this Blemish Balm will relieve and brighten up the skin."

Ever since I had started buying Memeboxes, I have been getting a lot of different BB and CC's creams, which I love. I love that Asian BB and CC creams have so many more benefits other than just a foundation to cover the face. Many contain anti-aging benefits, promises of whitening, and evening out the skin tone.

Item #4
Creamy Dual Auto Eye Stick by Shara Shara
The Swatch
This product contains a dual ended eyeliner and a shadow
Price: $9
Randomly selected from No. 1 Shine Gold Khaki, No. 2 Holly Pink Brown, No. 3 Celeb Burgundy, No. 4 Glam Brownie

Product Description: "This Creamy Dual Auto Eye Stick simplifies your eye makeup collection by combining an eyeliner and an eye shadow into one double-ended eye stick. The two shades for every color option are carefully curated so they can be applied together harmoniously or be mixed and matched with other liners and shadow colors. The creamy texture is gentle on the skin and the subtle pearly glitters add more glam and style to your eyes."

I had received this in the color No. 1 Shine Gold Khaki. The shadow and the liner is very wearable and will be used. Although this does seem like just an ordinary shadow stick or eyeliner pencil, it is convenient that it is dual ended. This makes it easier to travel with.

Item #5
Two Color Lip Gloss by Cheek Room

This contains one lip gloss tube
Price: $12
Randomly selected from 07 Lavender & Pink Beige, 08 Wine & Nude Peach

Product Description: "There's no need to make more room in your pouch with this product! The dual lip gloss provides a liquid lip color with the intense, long-lasting hold of a lip stain and the eye-catching shine of a gloss. It is formulated so that the stain locks color on the lips for a waterproff, smudge-proof result that will not transfer or fade. Its intensely pigmented formula provides immediate, opaque color with a matte texture, and its non-sticky topcoat adds an extreme lacquered finish."

I received this in the color 07 Lavender & Pink Beige. I had tried to swatch this for you but the color came out very sheer and was hard to truly show the color of it. This lip gloss is actually very pretty. It has kind of sheer color. I will definitely use this over my fav lipstick.

Item #6
Glitter Pearl Powder by Shara Shara
 
The Swatch
Contains 2.2g of product
Price: $7
Randomly selected from PK01 Pink Romace, GL02 Bronze Gold, GL01 Champagne Gold

Product Description: "Shara Shara's Glitter Pearl Powder boosts its glitter pearls that shine and sparkle in multi-angles and apply super smoothly onto skin, with a silky, long-lasting radiance. Also, the tip brush controls the amount of Pearl Powder for a single application, making sure just the right amount is applied and adhered onto the skin. Plus, it can be used as a highlighter as well."

I had received this in the color GL02 Bronze Gold. It is a very wearable and neutral color. I usually do not like loose powders because they can get messy for me to use and I always have to be so careful as to not to sneeze! hehe!


As my first intentional makeup box purchase, I am pretty glad that I will be using everything. This box really does have everything needed for a full face of makeup. I am glad that I did get to buy at least one makeup box to try out.

As always, thank you for reading!

XOXO

Memebox Superbox #10 Snail

Happy Wednesday!

I know, I know, another unboxing?! Its very hard to keep up with the amount of boxes that come in and my school work to keep up so please bare with me as these will come in small bursts!

Did you know that snail mucus is a super popular thing to slather onto your face? Asian beauty brands love coming up weird concoctions that they believe to keep your skin looking younger, helps with fine lines, and helps with scars on your face. Wait, snail mucus can do all of that?! Please give me more of that so I can slather it all onto my face! 

So, for this unboxing, I was able to grab a restock of MEMEBOX Superbox #10 Snail. WOO HOO! This was one of the boxes that had 'got away' until I snatched two of them for $32USD with $6.99 for shipping with a free upgrade to express shipping because it was a restock item. (One for me and some snaily slimey mucusy goodness for my mom as well). Lets start with what's inside the box!

I guess they ran out of the informational cards because this looked like it was hand printed on pieces of printer paper
Item #1:
Wrinkle Snail System Cream by The Skin House
This tub contains 50ml of product
Price: $18

Product Description: "The Skin House is a Korean brand famous for its products made from 100% pure ingredients from nature. This replenishing and nourishing snail cream is the ultimate solution to both non-elastic, saggy skin and rough, dry skin. It will help maintain a high moisture level for 24 hours long and also restore skin elasticity and youthful glow."

This products jar looks different than what is pictured on the informational card. They both have the same printing but just different jar colors. This cream is a little thicker and would be good for dry skin types or during the winter.

Item #2:
Non-Silicon Snail Treatment by Pure Smile
This tube has 250g of product in it
Price: $16

Product Description: "Generally, there's silicon included in most shampoos and treatments to give an instant shine to your hair. However, its effects are only short-lasting and detrimental to healthy hair because it creates a glossy silicon layer which prevents absorbance of any nutrition into your hair. This non-silicon hair treatment is enriched with snail slime extracts which helps maintain the right moisture/oil balance and deeply nourishes dry, damaged hair for a shinier, youthful texture."

Let me just say, that this tube is HUGE! I do love hair products but it is always so hard for me to finish them up. I do like products that do not contain silicon so this will be interesting to try as a hair mask.

Item #3:
EGF Renovage Youth Activating Eye Cream by Elensilia
This tube contains 25g of product
Price: $89!

Product Description: "The EGF Renovage technology system utilized in this eye cream is the ultimate formula for delaying, repairing, and stopping signs of aging and damage on your skin. It will noticeably nullify fine wrinkles and dark circles under your eyes."

Hm..this doesnt say anything about having any snail mucin in it. My mom has been using it everyday, day and night, and the skin around the eyes seem to be more moisturized but I don't believe that it has made any huge difference but then again, skincare is not a miracle worker and does take time and effort to work. I guess we shall see when she is done with the tube.

Item #4:
Snail Recover Intensive Serum by DKDN
This dropper contains 30ml of product
Price: $33

Product Description: "Snails are known to qiuckly heal themselves when their skin or shell is damaged. This Snail Recover Intensive Serum is consisted of 93% pure extract from such healing property of snails. It will work to nourish, moisturize, and brighten up your dull, elastic-lost skin, overall improving the skin condition for a more translucent, glowing texture."

Now this essence seems very interesting! I do have some scars from pimples and would love to see what it does on freckles! 

Item #5:
Age Regenerating Ampoule & Snail 3D Mask by Purederm
This packet contains a one time use sheet mask
Price: $4

Product Description: "This two-step regenerating treatment consists of a firming ampoule and a snail 3D facial mask. The ampoule works to prevent signs of aging and also helps to more effectively deliver the nutrients from the mask pack. As for the 3D facial mask, its sheet is made from natural pulp and high concentration of snail extracts; it will deeply hydrate, nourish, and regenerate your dry, thirsty skin."

I don't have many snail sheet masks so I am excited to get more of them!

BONUS Item #6:
Snail Vitalising Mask Sheet by Dewytree
Unfortunately, this was a bonus item so there was no information listed on the information card about this product.

I hope that after reading about snail mucus, you will be more intrigued in trying it out as well. I know it may seem extremely weird and gross but if you can conquer that fear, your skin will thank you by reaping in all of the great benefits! Give it a try!

XOXO

Memebox Superbox #55 Free From Oil & Trouble 4

Hi there!!

Those of you who know me, know that I have oily/combination skin that is acne prone especially when it comes to 'that' time of the month or when I am really stressed out while studying. So of course I just had to get the MEMEBOX Superbox #55 Free From Oil & Trouble 4th edition. Yes, this box has been SO popular that there has been 4 editions of them. The 4th edition cost me $32USD not including the $6.99 for standard shipping. *phew! One of the more expensive boxes. But lets not talk about the pricing, onto the unboxing!


Item #1:
Acnic Blemish Spot Solution by Insobeau
This plastic jar contains 15ml of product
Price: $20

Price Description: "Consisting half liquid and half pink powder, this Acnic Blemish Spot Solution utilizes a combination of both layers to target skin troubles and red spots. Its mandarin and unshin oil formula from Jeju Island is rich in vitamin A, B1, B2, and C for relieving skin redness and stress level and protecting the skin from possible infections and further damage."

This is similar to the Mario Badescu Plastic Bottle Drying Lotion that I have tried so this will be interesting in comparing how well this works to that.

Item #2:
Aroma AC Cream by Pro You
This jar contains 60g of product
Price: $54

Price Description: "The Aroma AC Cream is made from Pro You's special Multi EX Magnotics formula consisting of green tea, grapefruit, machilia, and thujopsis dolabrata extracts and work to tighten up enlarged pores and control the sebum level of your skin. It also contains various essential oils - juniper berry, lavender, and tea tree - which help soothe and purify irritated skin."

Of course I cannot get enough creams. This is a cream that I will probably work into my routine when it is that time of the month or when my skin decides to act up.

Item #3:
Dr. Clear Magic Toner by The Skin House
This spray contains 130ml of product
Price: $25

Product Description: "Enriched with tea tree extracts, Dr. Clear Magic Toner is a spray-type mist toner which works to soothe and control excess skin blemishes and to balance out the skin's moisture/oil level for a clearer, healthier-looking complexion overall."

I love toners and feel that I never get enough of them in Memeboxes. i am excited to try this toner for the tea tree ingredient and to see how this will help maintain the oil that accumulates on my during the day. :(

Item #4:
Herb & Bee A.C Control Serum by Benenet
This pump contains 60ml of product
Price: $38

Product Description: "This Herb & Bee A.C Control Serum contains bee venom, which is 75% protein and has proven effective in relieving, protecting, repairing, and hydrating the skin, and also 5 different kinds of herbal extracts from grapefruit, citron, eucalyptus leaf, sophora root, and clove flower which all help maintain a healthy skin balance."

I currently use and love the Benton snail bee high content essence despite the 'bad' batch, which I believe they had fixed. This will be very interesting to me to compare it too. I can't wait! I love me some bee venom!

Item #5:
Linzy Egg Pack by Lindsay
The soaps are 60g in product
Price: $12

Product Description: "The Linzy Egg Pack is a blackhead and pore controlling cleanser kit consisting of a White Egg and a Red Clay Egg. First, the White Egg is made from real egg whites and witch hazel complex which work to cleanse away any skin impurities clogged up in your pores. Then, the Red Clay Egg containing red clay and NMF complex effectively tighten up enlarged pores for a smoother, suppler complexion."

This product reminds me the the Tony Moly Egg Pore Shiny Skin Soap which has a similar cute egg carton container! And lets face it, I did buy this mainly for the packaging, it just gets me every time! Of course, I can't wait to see how this product compares to the Tony Moly brand as well. 

Item #6:
Goodbye Oil Pact by ideeB
This compact holds 12g of product
Price: $12

Product Description: "This shine-stopping translucent pressed powder blots oil and keeps shine at bay. The lavender shade applies invisibly and works on every skintone. Try it on naked skin or over foundation or for touch ups any time throughout the day because the formula contains super lightweight, oil-absorbing ingredients to get you shine-free results."

I am not so sure about this product since even though it says translucent, it may not be especially since it is white in color. The white can cause a white cast on your face. I will try this out and see how this will turn out.

And this concludes the unboxing! As always, thank you for reading!

Memebox Superbox #53 My Honey Box

hello there!

Did you know that honey has so many uses besides making your tea sweet and helping a cough? It is full of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, moisturizes and hydrates even the driest skin, heals the skin, and protects against wrinkles and fine lines! Whoa! That is A LOT of awesome benefits! I was very sad that I missed out of the first honey box so I definitely had to pick up box number 2! This box is the Memebox Superbox #53 My Honey Box. This box was $29USD and I did get the standard shipping for $6.99. This is a superbox so it had included 7 full sized items! Now lets get onto the unboxing!


Item #1:
Antipollution RE-Peeling by MIGABEE
This tube containts 100ml of product
Price: $37

Product Description: "This is a peel-off type of facial pack enriched with natural ingredients renown for nourishing and brightening effects- honey, been venom, propolis, royal jelly. It'll work to exfoliate dead skin cells, blackheads, and whiteheads and to control excess oil and sebum by maintaining the skin clean and well-balanced."

I love peeling gels! I did hear that this was a pretty amazing peeling gel so I am excited to compare this to the ever so popular Cure peeling gel from Japan!

Item #2:
Manuka Honey Treatment by Mi Click
This tube contains 30ml of product
Price: $5

Product Description: "Enriched with high concentrates of honey, the Manuka Honey Treatment delivers deep nourishment, repairs damaged ends, and provides an intensive protein care to your dry hair. The natural manuka oil infused also works to renew damaged cuticles and restore silky gloss to your hair."

I love things for my damaged and dry hair but it is so hard to finish using up all of the hair items I have before being able to use a new hair product. This honey product may be good for me during the winter when I dry my hair with a blow dryer the most but may not be able to finish using up all of my items before getting to use this product during the winter.

Item #3
Apple & Honey Shea Butter Hand Cream by Enesti
This hand cream includes 50g of product
Price: $5

Product Description: "The heavily nourishing honey and vitamin-rich apple formula of this hand cream works to moisturize, purify, and firm up dry hands."

I love hand creams and cannot get enough of them! My job requires me to constantly wash my hands and the soaps are super harsh on skin and makes them very dry. This hand cream is very moisturizing and smells amazing! I do usually love apple smelling products.

Item #4
Multi Effect Collagen Honey Mask by From Nature
This is a one time use sheet mask
Price: $1

Product Description: "Containing high concentrates of real honey and collagen extracts, this nourishing Honey Mask delivers deep nutrition and improves skin elasticity by creating a protective moisture barrier over your skin. Plus, this mask is packed with over 9 different herbal ingredients for soothing and brightening up the overall complexion."

When pulling the sheet mask out of the package, the mask was soaking in essence. Like, literally dripping in essence. I usually don't like my sheet masks like that since it usually becomes messy and starts to drip everywhere. This did deliver moisture to my skin but so does a lot of different sheet masks. I didn't see that much change with this mask other than it was moisturizing.

Item #5
Honeybee Water Cream by EDMONG
This jar contains 50ml of product
Price: $29

Product Description: "Enriched with honey extracts, natural spring water, propolis extracts, aloe vera water, hyaluronic acid, and green tea extracts, this Honeybee Water Cream is a fast-absorbing moisturizer which strengths the skin's natural restorative properties. It's free of paraben, artificial coloring, mineral oil, benzophenone, BHT, talc, etc."

This cream smells SO good. I could not get enough of smelling it. This item was a spoiler item for the box but I have not gotten a chance to use this cream. It says that I can use this as a cream and as an overnight sleeping pack. 

Item #6
Essential Honey Lift Massage Cream by DAYCELL
This tube contains 150ml of product
Price: $20

Product Description: "This is the perfect solution for dehydrated, sagging skin. When gently patted onto the skin, the natural honey and collagen complex of the massage cream delivers deep nutrition and firms up the skin elasticity by creating a tight-knit gel network on the skin. Plus, its unique honey-like, gooey texture glides smoothly and absorbs deeply into the skin."

This product sounds interesting. It sounds like a overnight pack as well since it says to wash off the next morning. 

Item #7
Snail Lip Treatment Honey by Pure Smile
This lip treatment contains 10g of product
Price: $5

Product Description: "Enriched with honey extracts, snail mucus extracts, grape seed oil, shea butter, and many more naturally-derived nutrients, Pure Smile's Lip Treatment moisturizes, nourishes, and protects dry, chapped lips."

My mom LOVES this stuff. She loves this so much that she had stolen mine as well. When this is on, it feels like a thick layer is on your lips. I can see why they had recommended this for use at night because it is so thick. When this is on, it also makes your lips quite shiny like a lip gloss. But, in the morning, I have found my lips to be extremely soft and moisturized and this is coming from someone who has chronic chapped lips... apparently.. lol


Everything in this box will be used and I think that I have a new found love for honey! I am glad that I did get this box.

As always, thank you for reading!

XOXO

Memebox Special #38 My Mask Box

Hi Everyone!

I have quite a few more reviews for you today but geez, it seems so hard to keep up with all of the boxes that comes in!

Todays unboxing will be of Memebox Sepcial #38 My Mask Box. This box was $23USD and opted for the standard shipping for $6.99 (which I think kind of sucks because the shipping is SO slow since they have changed it :( )

I believe that the masks boxes are one of the staples for me and my skin. I just love them and am pretty obsessed with them! They are just so fun to do as well as how beneficial they are to the skin. There were 7 'full sized' items in this box as well as a bonus foil packet sample.


Item #1:
Mask Sheet 5 Set by Pure Smile
A pack of 5 sheet masks in one pack.
Price: $6
Randomly selected from Mayu, Sake, Citron, Placenta, Pearl, Honey

Product Description: "Rich in vitamin E and collagen, Pure Smile Mask Sheet is moisturizing and relaxing, and its gentle formula is suitable for all skin types."

I thought this was pretty nice to receive a full pack of these rather than just 1 sheet mask as a full size. I had received Sake. Mayu is horse placenta. This ingredient doesn't scare me and since the placenta is a waste product, why not use it if it is so beneficial to our skin? I'm open to trying it out. =]

Item #2:
Beauty Secret Step Up Bust Mask by insobeau
2 pieces for one usage
Price: $14

Product Description: "The Beauty Secret Step Up Bust Mask is a mask patch especially designed to moisturize, soften, and lift up your bust easily throughout the day or overnight. The nourishing formula rich in vitamin C and silk amino acid will deliver a concentrated skincare to your bust line."

haha! I always find these funny. I have yet to try one but I had received another bust mask in OMG 1 box. I have heard mixed reviews on this mask as this does make your bust very soft but also heard it can also make your bust.... smaller? That makes me hesitant to try it but oh well! I will try it anyways and then we shall see!

Item #3
Pore Control Facial Mask by Pro You
This tube includes 200g of product!
Price: $53

Product Description: "This Pore control Facial Mask boosts strong adsoption level which effectively removes all blackheads and skin impurities from enlarged pores and prevents skin damages and roughening. While the hyaluronic acid and vegetable collagen delivers deep hydration into the skin, the aloe vera gel, witch hazel, green tea, and chamomile extracts work to tighten back up the pores after blackhead remover and soothe irritated or damaged skin."

I have been looking for more pore/clay mask type products since I seem to be low in stock in my piles and piles of skin care products haha so, I can't wait to break open this baby!

Item #4:
Aqua Sleeping Pack by Milky Dress
This tube contains 50ml of product
Price: $23

Product Description: "Highly recommended for dehydrated, coarse skin, this Aqua Sleeping Pack supplies instant hydration and nutrition deep down into the skin while also soothing, brightening, and treating fine lines and wrinkles for visibly younger-looking complexion the next morning."

This came just in time! The winter is coming and my skin loves sleeping packs during harsh winter weathers.

Item #5:
Help Me Neck Patch by Tosowoong
This product included 2 patches in the box
Price: $30 for a pack of 10

Product Description: "If you've been stressing over dry and sagging skin around your neck, Tosowoong's Help Me Neck Patch is the perfect solution! Its bio cellulose sheet made from coconut fermentation works to replenish and lift up the skin easily and instantly."

I love all things for the neck! Most people take such good care of their skin on the their face but forget to also take care of the skin on the neck. It is contains thin skin as well and needs just as much TLC as the skin around the eyes!

Item #6:
Wrinkle Reducer Gel Patches 6 Treatments 1 Box by Purederm
This item included 6 patches in one box
Price: $12

Product Description: "Purederm Wrinkle Reducer Gel Patches are specially formulated for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around and under your eyes with a gentle and effective formula."

I have tried tons of under eye patches before but this is the first one that I will have to rinse off with water after usage and that I can wear it for 30 minutes OR overnight! How interesting will this be to try out?

Item #7:
Green Piggy Collagen Jella Pack by Elizavecca
This tub contains 100 ml of product
Price: $30

Product Description: "This popular Green Piggy Collagen Jella Pack boosts of its jello-like texture which endorses fast absorbance of rich nutrients deep into the skin. The high concentrate of collagen peptide form the Jella Pack works to increase skin elasticity and radiance."

I LOVE ELIZAVECCA! Not only is the packaging SO cute but also SO super effective! I cannot WAIT to continue trying out products from this brand.

Overall, I love the masks boxes and will continue getting them. They are such great value and I love and can use everything in the boxes!

Favorite thing in the box: Of course I love everything in the box but I am most excited about the Elizavecca jelly pack...as if you couldn't tell..hehe
Least favorite item in the box: Hm..this is hard to pick one but I think it will be the bust mask. This is because I am afraid that they will shrink what little ones I already have! haha!

As always, Thank you for reading!

XOXO
